Getting Recognized

If your community has already completed basic steps towards becoming age-friendly, your local government can apply to have your community officially recognized as an Age-friendly British Columbia (AFBC) community.

AFBC Recognition Program

The AFBC recognition program is designed to recognize success, and encourage and motivate communities to take action towards becoming age-friendly.

Since 2012, 45 communities have received Age-friendly BC Community Recognition.

Recognized Age Friendly Communities

The Province and BC Healthy Communities work together to provide Age-friendly BC Recognition awards to local governments that have committed to make their communities more age-friendly. Please visit the BC Healthy Communities website to view a gallery highlighting the work of the communities that received Age-friendly BC Recognition awards.
